1 East Main Street-Burkittsville Historic District – Burkittsville MD - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form

Burkittsville is a well preserved, virtually unchanged example of the American townscape of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The churches, houses, and shops strung along Main Street are bordered at the rear by the fields surrounding the town. This open landscape at the corporate boundaries and the rural approaches to the town still demonstrate visually Burkittsville’s historic position as a service center for the neighboring countryside. The town has never grown and thus retains its original visual integrity.

Inventory No. F-2-10; Period/Date of Construction: Late 18th-early 20th centuries.
